Off-Axis Parabolic (OAP) Mirror

Off-axis parabolic mirror (OAP) is a special type of optical mirror that can focus or collimate light beams without spherical aberration, just like a regular parabolic mirror. Its unique "off-axis" structure cleverly moves the focal point outside the incident light path, thus avoiding the central obstruction problem common in traditional designs.

Key Features
  • Unobstructed
    Unobstructed

    The off-axis design allows the reflected beam to exit at an angle, completely avoiding the incident light path. This achieves unobstructed light transmission, preventing energy loss and image quality interference.

  • Aberration-Free
    Aberration-Free

    Perfectly focuses parallel light, eliminating spherical aberration. Furthermore, due to its reflective design, it is completely free of chromatic aberration, making it ideal for broadband or multi-color light systems.

  • High Efficiency
    High Efficiency

    The total internal reflection design eliminates almost all absorption losses from transmission materials, making it particularly suitable for high-power laser applications.
